Light, but beautiful nose of lime, floral, orchard fruit, and a hint of TDP. Medium body and acidity. Quite a bit of residual sugar (? High dosage).

Nose is bright with apple, then comes in the lemon and floral notes…a whiff of TDP. Zippy acidity. Med-body.

Overall a wonderful, straight forward example of high acid, mineral driven Riesling.

The fuit was still lively, with cherry and dark berry notes underpinned by a lovely aroma of roses. The tertiaries of mushroom and dirt were elevated. On the palate, med to med + acid and med+ tannins. Likely would even get better with a few more years

Deep, inky ruby color with a time of blue. The nose is intriguing with notes of bramble berry, jerky, and black pepper. There’s medium body and acid; med+ tannins. The finish of the wine is bright with cherry and vanilla.

Light tawny color. The tertiary notes definitely shine here, with dirt and mushroom up front. However, primary fruit flavors of raspberry and plum persist, along with spice.

Light gold color with an ample nose of pineapple, melon, papaya, and green notes. There’s also an interesting, light whiff of pepper. The body is medium, and there’s a strong acid backbone. This is wonderful with dishes with a bit of spice.

NV Presto Prosecco Brut

Glera more

5/5/2021 - Vin_geek Likes this wine: 87 points

Fresh apple, along with light pear and floral notes. This is a simple, crisp Prosecco with a nice acidic backbone and a faint bitter finish. Would work for a straight-forward, refreshing summer bubbly or a spritz.

Lovely wine, with a great price. Medium+ ruby color and a plentiful nose of blackberry, cherry, and cassis. There’s certainly a savory essence of olives and a light floral note. The fruit is big and center stage in the mouth. Medium body and tannins.

2017 Pax Syrah Armagh Vineyard

Sonoma Coast more

4/20/2021 - Vin_geek Likes this wine: 91 points

Medium purple, with a slight ruby tinge. The two standouts here are the briny olive aromas and the clove/cinnamon spice (with clove taking center stage). There are notes of dark fruit and dill; medium body. This is a Syrah that smacks you in the face, in a very good way. Certainly still young, and will likely improve with age. Though I have to say, very fun to drink now.

Beautiful light golden color. The nose is bright....citrus, apple, pear. But the floral speaks over the fruit, in a gracious way. Meudium bodied and a classic bitter ending. What a great wine.
